Newly released DNA tests show no indication that members of Duke University's lacrosse team raped the exotic dancer who contended she was assaulted at a house party last month, according to a lawyer representing one of the players.
What's more, the other dancer who accompanied the alleged victim after the party said the woman never told her that she was raped that night, according to Charlotte lawyer Pete Anderson, who is representing one of the players.
"No charges should be brought. The investigation should be closed," Anderson said. "...There's no scientific evidence to corroborate the allegations."
Attorneys: No DNA Match in Duke Scandal - Washington Post
District Attorney Mike Nifong stopped speaking with reporters last week after initially talking openly about the case, including stating publicly that he was confident a crime occurred. He went on to say he would have other evidence to make his case should the DNA analysis prove inconclusive or fail to match a member of the team. Smith said Nifong now has the evidence needed to change his mind. "He doesn't have to do it," Smith said of filing charges. "He is a man with discretion. He doesn't have to do it, and we hope that he won't." DNA Test Results Appear to Clear Duke Students of Sexual Assault Charges
by Jim Kouri - According an extensive series of DNA tests, there was no DNA from any Duke University students accused of raping a stripper found on the complainant's body, clothing or anywhere else on her or her belongings, according to the DNA test results.
The test results strongly suggest that the woman who claims she was sexually assault by members of the Duke LaCrosse Team was not raped or assaulted by any of the students, according to attorneys on both sides of the case.
In addition, the defense attorneys stated that forensic technicians found no DNA from the alleged victim in the students' house.
Judge Andrew Napolitano of Fox News stated that this case is either a hoax or a vendetta by the woman against the students because they didn't pay her enough for her striptease.
Is the DA backing off his assuredness in his "victim"? To save face, he should go after her with a vengeance, but he won't.
